Many thanks to all my subscribers and readers

November 6th, 2003 by Hal

Early this morning (at exactly 1:06:47 AM EST) I received the 500th email (Bloglet) subscription to Reforming Project Management. That makes me more popular than the blog 'Left of Center' but still less popular than 'Kelly Osbourne Online'. Oh well, I still have something to shoot for.

I find it truly amazing that so many people from all over the world are interested in reading my views and engaging in dialog on the state of project management and what we can do to change it. In addition to these email readers, another 1,500 people are reading each week and an untold number are keeping up by newsreader using RSS. I can't thank you all enough for this, and yet I'll try. Here goes…

Shhhh. You're the first to hear about this. Starting in January, Greg Howell and I will be launching a monthly teleconference where we'll be having a conversation with authors of project management/leadership books. Two authors have agreed to join us. We'll be talking with others. This first series will last for 6 months. The teleconference is free. Your only cost will be a phone call. We're still working out the details so you'll have to wait before signing up. But we'll move as quickly as we can so you can read the books before we all get to discuss them with the authors.

Please leave a comment suggesting which authors you want on the line with us or send me an email.

We're really excited about this. I promise you it'll be as provocative as we can make it. (Authors, don't let that scare you away!) Keep checking back for more details on authors, dates, and how to sign-up.

BTW, please tell your friends about Reforming Project Management and encourage them to subscribe or to add this to their newsreader. The more the merrier! Again…many thanks.
